Caffe Demetre

Got a waffle with ice cream and customized it with banana and brownies with Nutella sauce… The waffle was good the quantity of Nutella sauce good have been a little bit more but the white chocolate ice cream was delicious and the bank as we’re fresh

This is the Ajax location off of consumer way and was a quick stop for my brother and I on our journey towards Eastern Ontario. After a few minutes of contemplating buying all chocolates, we both decided on getting waffles dishes with ice cream. I got the Robert Brownie Jr. (I know), which was a vanilla ice cream with hazelnut and praline atop a freshly made waffle, drizzled with Belgian milk chocolate sauce and garnished with flavourful Brownie bits.
Overall, amazing! Too much sugar, but hey, I knew what I was getting myself into.
Note: the portion sizes are large so if you aren’t really a sugar connoisseur, consider sharing with someone else.

Ambiance is perfect, servers are friendly & efficient, the ice cream & crepes are really good! I just find the cakes here a bit too sweet. If they can tone down the sugar on those, it would be perfect. Otherwise a very good dessert place, will come back for more!

Brand new menu! New hilarious names! I tried the Summertime Fatness and my boyfriend had the Harlem Shake.
Demetre’s doesn’t disappoint. The new ice cream flavours are to die for. I’m glad they freshened up their menu; they’ve never had a different one since I’ve been going there. If you’re a cake person, they changed their cakes. Also, they no longer have red cherries, only black cherries; so if you’re a cherry cheesecake fan, beware!
The prices did go up a bit, but I guess that’s to be expected.
Still love this place, can’t wait to try more of their new creations.

Portion sizes are very big, even a single scoop of ice cream in a waffle cone is enormous. Staff are friendly and efficient, and good with my young son.
But there is one major down side to here: Why, oh why, does a business that specialises in desserts feel that it’s ok to use edible oil and not real whipped cream? The oil tastes nasty and is virtually inedible without making you feel nauseous. If Demetre would start using real whipped cream instead of the vile oil product I would definitely give more than 3 stars.

I went here with a friend and they seriously have such big portions. If I didn’t love sugar as much as I do, I would absolutely share a dish. They are great for groups and dates! The staff took a long time to come to our table, we waiting 15minutes before we even got menus or asked if we wanted a drink. There was no one that greated us at the door, we just waited around and when no one came we just sat down where there were seats.
I got a hot chocolate and waffles with fresh fruit. It was good, the waffle tasted like it was frozen and than warmed up or maybe a box-​batter. You seriously can’t go wrong with whipped cream and strawberries. Their hot chocolate was more luke-​warm than hot. I love my beverages steaming opposed to room temperature. It took another 20min for the person to come back to our table to see how we were so I couldn’t ask for it to be warmed up more. If it was hot, I’m sure it would be delicious.
I don’t think I would go to this location again since I was not happy, however, I would definitely go to the same restaurant chain again probably in Toronto.

Second time. The café Americano and coffee we were served were cold by the time our mountainous dessert came. The Americano and coffee were very good but when the served offered to refill my wife’s coffee she informed me that she was not allowed to top up my Americano. So I had a $ 12 dessert and $ 6 with if coffee but I’m not allowed a bit of coffee topup? Really Management? That is silly. Give the waitresses some leeway and discretion. I understand abuse of refills (by the way said Mgmt only allows three) but she could obviously see that I had nothing to drink when my wife had a full cup.

This is one the prettiest Demetres I’ve been to perhaps because its a newer location. The inside boasts lots of colorful décor which gives off a whimsical feeling. There is a nice patio outside which is great to enjoy a giant ice cream on a hot summer’s day.
Upon entering we were kindly greeted and taken to a cozy seat by the window. Our waitress was really friendly and went over the menus with us and told us to close em up when we were ready to order and she’d be over. Demetres offers a great selection of crazy ice cream creations, milk shakes, smoothies, coffee drinks, crepes and waffles plus they have a cake display case with changing selections.
Our Orders:
Sub Zero Latte — A frosty blend of single shot espresso, sweetened cream & milk, ice, Honey Vanilla ice cream, whipped cream and cinnamon
This tasted amazing! Just like a sweetened frozen latte! It was pretty huge as well, I believe it was 14oz.
Double Scoop Ice Cream
Peanut Butter Overload — Rice peanut butter flavour, salty pan roasted peanuts, pure dark chocolate chunks & fudge swirl
Chocolatta — Melted Bitter Sweet Chocolate & Sweet Cream
I adored the peanut butter ice cream it was sweet and salty with the bits of peanuts and the chocolate ice cream was nice and creamy and not overly sweet
The only thing I didn’t like about the sundae was the waffle they topped the sundae with was still kinda raw not crisp at all. When I told the waitress about it she said they were having problems with there waffle machine and lots of other tables complained of the same thing however nothing was done about it? Another inconsistency I noticed about this place is that portion sizes of ice cream differed alot! I saw some single scooped sundaes that looked much bigger than my double scoop and other double scooped sundaes that looked smaller & larger than mine as well.
Overall it is a really nice location with amazing dessert selections. Perhaps the inconsistencies were to due the mass amount of students working there?
